Lyrics
- I have found a treasure, worth far more than gold
Mine to have forever, jewels of love untold
Diamonds that nature gave me, gave me to have and hold
Chorus
Little blue diamonds heaven sent to me
Precious as can be, and so wonderful to see
‘Tho they are only little baby eyes
They are beacons on the road to Paradise
Little blue diamonds, all the world to me
Rarest of all gems that shine
God gave me Heaven’s greatest pleasure
When He gave to me this treasure
Those little blue diamonds of mine
2. Time might change the future, take all joy away
Leaving but a mem’ry of all I have today
Still I will have one treasure, diamonds that live for aye
